Dystopian is official BACK! And this time, it's cozy! I truly couldn't love this book more. I can't wait for the booktokers to get their hands on this one. Poignant and thoughtful but also whip smart. I usually feel ridiculous saying things like "a modern classic," but if the shoe fits...

Gosh this book, it's so incredible. The world building is so vivid and so well thought out. The characters are beautifully crafted, complex, and thoughtful. They will have you rooting for them from the very beginning, and the story line is packed with action, romance, and more. This is such an incredible dystopian novel and I can't recommend it enough. Buy this book. Seriously. It’s so fritzing good.

GOD I MISSED DYSTOPIA. In this fascinating world, where a culture of constant productivity has a very human cost, where the rich experience life through human proxies, where people trade scraps of memories to get by, where food has become blocks of nutrients that keep a body alive but never satisfied, Tew has woven a poignant and tender enemies to lovers romance that is ultimately a story of human connection. Packed with action, clever worldbuilding, and heartfelt emotion, we're reminded of what makes us human and that joy is a form of resistance. 5/5 WOULD RECOMMEND.

You heard it here first -- the return of YA dystopian starts with this book. It's so incredibly well-done on multiple levels -- the slow-burn, poignant romance; the unique and fascinating world-building; the deep sororal and platonic bonds of our two MCs; the clever critique of a capitalist society which prioritizes wealth over individualism, to the detriment of all its citizens; the beautiful prose and dryly funny dialogue. It's an absolute masterpiece, and I'm so thrilled to have been given the privilege of reading an early copy. Mark this one as a must-have because you do NOT want to miss out on this read!!!!

The Dividing Sky is the fresh breath of dystopian air I’ve been waiting for. This unforgettable sci-fi romance has it all; genius world building, beautifully crafted characters, a surprisingly cozy atmosphere, twists I never saw coming, and a romance that is so sweet and swoonworthy, I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.
